My Top 15 Anime of Winter 2025

My Top 15 Anime of Winter 2025

It’s crazy to see shows like Re:Zero and Solo Leveling make such massive improvements that they’re able to actually crack a top 15. But the craziest thing is knowing that this is the last time I’ll get to rank a real Yu-Gi-Oh! series in one of these seasonal rankings. It’s basically been a part of my life since I started making YouTube videos.

Notes: UniteUp! Uni:Birth and Cardfight!! Vanguard: Divinez Deluxe-hen rankings do not include the last 2 episode, and Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon 2nd Season’s ranking does not include the last episode, as 2 of those were hit with production delays causing them to end very late and Vanguard has it’s usual nonsense scheduling that means we don’t even know when it will end.

Rest of what I saw:

16) Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 3 (2nd cour)
17) Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai
18) Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (2nd cour)
19) UniteUp! Uni:Birth
20) Cardfight!! Vanguard: Divinez Deluxe-hen
21) Farmagia
22) Grisaia: Phantom Trigger
23) Magic Maker: Isekai Mahou no Tsukurikata
24) Unnamed Memory Act.2
25) Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon 2nd Season
26) Yoru wa Neko to Issho Season 3:
